To execute a command as root, precede it with sudo “super user do”. Thus shutdown is

sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

To reboot instead of halt, use -r.

A quicker way to reboot (less typing ) is to enter, as super user:

init 6

Gentlemen,
Pleasure to meet you all…I’m 39 btw and writing from Philly

Does anyone know how to lock the console? In Windows you just do a ‘Win’ + ‘L’ and the system is locked while you run off and pee…secure in the knowledge that a co-worker is not reading your email

Speaking of shortcut keys…are there any for Linux?

In Gnome you can Lock Screen through Main Menu. Computer -> Lock Screen (above Shutdown and Logout).
Shortcut for that is Ctrl+Alt+L.
